Oil free Chicken curry with homemade masala
Oil free chicken curry is my husband's favorite dish and I enjoy making it for him. It is made with fresh ground spices and made without any tomato or oil. It is aromatic because of the fresh spices and curry leaves.
Ingredients
15/20 fresh curry leaves
5 peppercorns
3 cloves
1 dry red chili
1 large cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
3 cardamom pods
2 tsp sesame seeds
2 tsp coriander seeds
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp poppy seeds
1/2 large red onion
4 cloves garlic
1/2 inch piece fresh ginger
2 pounds chicken drumsticks organic skinless
Salt to taste
For the marinade
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp cardamom powder
3 tbsp plain nonfat yogurt
Salt
Turmeric powder
Coriander cumin powder 1 tsp
Half of the curry leaves
Ginger garlic paste fresh
Method
Start marinating the chicken and keep it aside for about 4 hours.
After the chicken is marinated for about 4 hours, cook the chicken in a pressure cooker ( I waited for about 4 whistles). Now for the masala, take a pan and dry roast the pepper, sesame seeds, cloves, coriander seeds, poppy, cumin, chili, chopped onion, ginger and garlic with curry leaves. After it is dry roasted for about 6/7 minutes on a medium flame, turn of the heat and wait for it to cool down. Now, blend the masala with a little water and make a fine smooth paste.
After the chicken is cooked in the pressure cooker, mix the masala paste and boil it for about 15/20 minutes and garnish with chopped cilantro. Enjoy with your choice of white or brown rice and/or roti.
